Subject: [gentoo-user] Link-local ipv6 address in /etc/hosts? in browsers?
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:43:29 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jf9a6h$l01$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)
How do you specify a link-local ipv6 address in /etc/hosts?
For example, I can ping/telnet/ssh to fe80::02c0:4eff:fe07:0005%eth1,
but I can't figure out how to put that address in /etc/hosts so I can
access it by name.
Similarly, how do you enter an ipv6 link-local address in Firefox or
Opera? curl seems to accept such an address and return the proper web
page, but I can't find any interactive browser (graphical or
command-line) that will accept a link-local address. So far I've
tried Firefox Opera w3m links. According to RFC2732 it looks like the
format should be
http://[fe80::02c0:4eff:fe07:0005%eth1]:80/
But none of the browsers accept that.
